According to the helpfile ..

The control might first need to be given focus with the ControlFocus command.

When using a control name in the Control functions you need to add a number to the end of the name to indicate which control.  For example, if there two controls listed called "MDIClient" then you would refer to these as "MDIClient1" and "MDIClient2".

Have you tried using the ControlFocus() command when assigning the value from a literal (ie: in your sample that fails)?

my helpfile have not the "The control might first need to be given focus with the ControlFocus command.

" , my autoit vision is v3.0.86.

i tried the ControlFocus("MyWin","","ThunderRT6CommanddButton4") , it also did nothing ...

I tried to duplicate your results..

Target.au3

;offer three buttons to choose from
    $nRC = msgbox (4096 + 3, "MyWin", "Click My Buttons!")  

;Confirm which button got pressed
    msgbox (4096 + 64, "nRC" , $nRC)

AutoBot.au3

;Wait till the target appears
    WinWaitActive ("MyWin")

;Announce start of processing
    ProgressOn("Hmmmmmmm","Target identified!")
    sleep(2000)
    ProgressOff()

;Click a button - from cxcio's code 
    WinActivate("MyWin")
    $a="Button3"   ;hard-coded
    ControlLeftClick("MyWin","",$a)
    msgbox(0,"",$a)

I started Target.au3, and left the msgbox on the screen. Then started AutoBot.au3, which sat and waited for me.

As soon as I made the msgbox active again (Window = "MyWin", from Target.au3) .. AutoBot.au3 woke up and everything worked as expected: it clicked the Cancel button.

Suggestion - if this works for you too, and you still can't get your "ThunderRT6CommanddButton4" to work then it may be that the thunder-button doesn't behave the same way.

Assuming you're 100% certain that the spelling is correct for "ThunderRT6CommanddButton4" .. right?

Hope this helps

looks like a spelling mistake in "$a="ThunderRT6CommanddButton4"

extra d between Command and Button
